IT Is SUGGESTED that tho proposed MI
Vernon Avenue, to connect MI. Vernon with
the south end Of the proposed bridge across
the Potomac at Arlington, shall pass around,
and not through Alexandria. No such idea
should be given moments consideration.
The main object oil the avenue is 10 afford a
good carriage road between this city and The
National Capital, and it would be chiefly
used for that purpose. That part of it 1e'
tween this city and Mt. Vernon would he
used considerably. and would be of great
convenience, not on'y 10 the PEOPLE living
along the line, but to visitors TO Mt Vernon;
but tho main portion of the travel on the
road would be between Alexandria aud
Washington. For the rOud to 60 around
this city, therefore, would be for it TO an
tai .ize the chief purpose for which lis con
struc.ion is desired. Washington street, on
which stands the church Washington at
tended, should lie part Of The avenue, and
Hunting Creek be crossed by a bridge near
the site OF The present one.

WHEN MR.. BRADY, OF Virginia, repno-
lican. was in Congress, all he saio ABOUT
VIRGINIA was accepted as gospel truth oy
his republican Congressional colleagues
and bv the republicans throughout the
co ,ptry. He spoke, he said, from personal
knowledge, and as nobody denied that be
had such knowledge of Virginia matters,
his party bad implicit faith il every wofu
he uttered concerning those matters. MI
Brady wa. in Congress only SIX months ago
Mantslly and morally he is the same man
NOW ne was then, and what he says as an
ex.member of Congress is certainly en'i'
tled to as much eredence as what he SAID as
q member. Therefore, whenever NortheFt
republican newspapers feel like denouncrne
the tyranny and oppression of the demo
cratic leaders of the South, and 'ne
political outrages to which those leader;
subject the republicans OF this section
let them pause and read what Mr
Brady now says about the one man power
TO which the Virginia republicans are no"
subjected by their ex. democratic boss, whicf
is as follows:
General Malone appoints bis own specla
fayorites chairmen of every city ana county
committee. and if they do not run things t'
his advantage he can remove them at his
own sweet pleasure. By this usurpatIon g
power he is enabled to dictate every nomi
nation for the legislature in republican 10
caities, aud through his own persona
agents he directs the party management
everywhere regardless of the wishes OF iht
people, going so far as to seek written
pledges from republican nominees Tor tht
Legislature to support and vote for him fo'

My duty on this occasion is very pleasing
and very brief one. 1t is simply to de-
clare that the Ninth International Medical
Congress is now open for organization and
for the transaction of business" The chair
man of the executive committee then pro-
ceeded to nominate the gentlemen agreed
| upon by the committee to be officers of The

clamation. DR.. John B. Hamilton, Supervis-
ing Surgeon General of the o. Marine Hos
pital Service, was unanimously elected Sc
cretary General OF the Congress, and took
his place and nominated the gentlemen
agreed upon as vice presidents of the 'con-
gress, who were elected. The list contains
hundred or more names. The only
Americans in the list are ex-presi-
dents of the American Medical Associa
ton and the Surgeons General of the Army
and Navy. The secretary then read his
report. DR.. A. Y. P. Garrett, chairman ofthe
committee on arrangements, announced the
social programme for the Congress. Presi-
den; Davis now introduced the Hon. Thos.
F. Bayard, Secretary Of State of the United
States, who welcomed The Congress IN few

acknowledged and responded to briefly by
members Of the Congress on behalf of their
respective nations, after which President
Davis proceeded TO deliver his opening adj

Enthusiastically accorded, ard then announced

OTTAWA, August 29.--The tremen-
dous storm predicted by Prof. Wig
gins of this city, announced in the
Detroit Free Press Of August %.
1885, is due to strike America on
the 10th of September next. Prof.
Virgins expects it to be the most
violent blow of the century. The
storms, which will originate in the
arctic circle, will cross the meridian
of London, England, on the 18th.
Moving westward across the Atlantic
the wind on the 10th will be south.
east at Halifax. A counter wave,
sweeping across the great lakes
from the northwest, will roar over
half the continent, the gale beginning
at its height along the Atlantic OH the
18th, when the storms meet. The
Professor, writing in the American
newspapers, several years ago, said
hat the far.of elements will embrace
about one half of the North Ameri-
can continent. Great dangers will
exist for those at sea, The position
of the planets is given as the cause
Of the storms, which will be. fol.
lowed By e%qninoctial gales.
